CURRENT MISSION To keep entertained while I entertain ABOUT ME How would I describe myself? Well, I'm a mother of two boys. So that pretty much consumes me most of the time. However, I've only been a mommy for five years and I feel as though I led a fairly interesting life before then. Not that it isn't interesting now. Don't get me wrong; my interests are just very focused now. Family and work. So in addition to caring for my family, I work as a veterinarian in Stonewall, Manitoba, in a multi-veterinarian practice. We have a hobby farm with chickens, rabbits and cats. So far no large herbivores or canids because we like to travel and finding suitable care for them can be complicated. I like to garden; veggies at least, and some flowers. I am a practical person. I like to scare myself. I love to try new things. PHILOSOPHY Live and let live. Be nice.

Perché sono su Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE None from couchsurfing.org, but plenty of couch surfing around the world when I've travelled on a shoestring budget. Australia 1995/96: Went for 4 months, stayed a year. Learned to be self-sufficient with the help of friends I hadn't met yet. New Zealand 1996: Where I learned to snowboard on Mount Turoa as it was erupting. British Columbia 1996/97: Finding my way to the slopes England 1998: First time I met my future/current husband's family and friends Wales 2001: New Year at Snowdon And then it sort of fizzled out. Then when I travelled it was to visit relatives or we stayed in hotels or vrbo condos.
Musica, film e libri
Movies: Comedies, Action, Romance I have a few all time favorite films including Happy Gilmore, Romancing the Stone, Die Hard, and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Books: Self-sufficiency books, gardening, textbooks (when I read stories I get so obsessed that I lose track of everything else and I find that just isn't appropriate at this stage of my life) Music: very broad interest from classical to rave to pop to grunge to gospel, etc.
Una cosa straordinaria che ho fatto
Parturition. Twice. That was crazy! (I've also kayaked class 5 rapids, bungee-jumped, sky-dived, ski toured on amazing glaciers, seen incredible aurora borealis, and had my arm shoulder deep in the rear end of cows, horses, llamas and elk)

I miei interessi
Currently, I have no free time. However, I like to dream about what I will do when I have free time again. And that includes travel, travel, travel! In the meantime I am busy with work, my family, my animals, and my friends. I like to sing, ski, camp, read, listen to music, lounge, canoe, white water kayak, bike, hike. I am turning 39 on January 1, 2014. Yowsa.
